It seems the Darksiders series is fated to not get the recognition it deserves, but at least THQ still believes in it enough to pimp out some cool merchandise -- like this newly revealed "Death & Despair" statue from SOTA...

More content is on the way tomorrow for fans of Darksiders II. The title's third downloadable expansion, The Demon Lord Belial will be available for consumption for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Folks who have purchase...

Despite proving controversial, THQ's "Humble Bundle" has raked in $3.3 million since it launched last Thursday, as over 580,000 customers take the chance to snap up games for as little as $1.00. According to GI.biz, share prices have risen to $1.60 from $1.07 -- up by 37.96%.

The "pay what you want" bundle includes Metro 2033, Darksiders,Red Faction: Armageddon and Company of Heroes, and the average buyer is opting to spend $5.64. Paying above the average entitles you to a free copy of Saints Row: The Third.

Although proving successful, the deal has nonetheless touched a nerve with some folk, who expect all humble bundles to be indie, cross-platform, and DRM free. THQ's games don't fit those expectations, being AAA titles that require both Steam and Windows. Still, it's not calling itself the Humble Indie Bundle, and it's not promising anything it isn't delivering, so I don't quite see the problem.

Given THQ's troubles, whatever the deal lacks in Indie, it certainly makes up for in Humble.

As you may recall, Destructoid hosted a fantastic Darksiders II contest last week, courtesy of our friends at THQ. After much deliberation, we're ready to announce the winners!
There were A TON of entries -- many of them absolutely wonderful! -- but sadly we could only award six of you with Darksiders swag. Hit the jump to find out who won!

One thing more than anything else struck me when I first read the discussion over the Darksiders II credits: the feeling that we've been here before.

The feeling that an uncomfortable truth about the industry, commonly known and accepted in game development circles as Just The Way Things Are, had been revealed to a surprised outside world. It was the same way I felt after the EA Spouse letter went viral, in which the fiancee of an EA game developer detailed the abusive culture of overtime at the company. I remember being inundated by emails and phone calls from family and friends who had read the letter, wanting to know if that kind of thing really went on, and had I ever experienced anything like that, and how could people do that to other people? Of course; yes; and I don't know, I answered again and again.

I was surprised that they were surprised; somehow I thought these things were common knowledge. But then, why would they be when so few are willing to discuss them publicly?

There's just something glorious about a truly demonic demon, one that embodies the spirit of the classics -- a big, red, horny, behooved, gleefully evil beast-man from the flaming depths of Hell. Who doesn't love demons? Well, Christians, I suppose. Some of them, anyway.

Videogames have all sorts of demons, but only a few of them are proper demony demons. The kind of demon you can look at and say, "That sure is a demon!" These are the demons that you think of when you think of demon stuff, which I do pretty much all of the time.

Last night, curiosity got the better of me and I nabbed Darksiders II on Steam. How is the PC version? Well, it ran, and I was able to change the resolution -- but that's about it, frankly. Sadly, it sounds like some players ...

Our friends at THQ have given us a TON of Darksiders II swag to hand out to lucky Dtoiders! Up for grabs are copies of the Darksiders II Collector's Edition, sets of Darksiders II tarot cards, copies of a Darksiders novel, and Darksiders II-themed laptop bags. Holy smokes!

The contest is over this Sunday, August 19 at midnight, and we'll only be shipping to U.S. mailboxes. Limit one entry per person, and please tell us whether you'd prefer the game for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, or have no preference (we have two copies of each). Good luck!
